Hi, couldn't find the right forum to post this in but here go's :) I have an old late 60's-early 70's 21ft GOP ex-crayfishing tow boat that needs some serious restoration, it has a steel spine which to me makes it savable, my wife wants me to burn it, but everybody else tells me to get it restored as it looks like one of a kind. I'm looking for a retired boatbuilder who could assist me in the rebuild, someone who lives in the southern part of Auckland. Cant promise much but a bit of cash, booze and food and enthusiasm, plus fishn trips of course when she's finished. Any help would be appreciated, can be contacted on 027-227-9702 cheers Craig.A

Just had a look at that boat. Seriously nice !!!Thumbs Up
Think you'd be best to have some boatbuilding experience to tackle that .
There are two types of people in the world: those that divide people into two types and those that don't.

Na ya dont have to bro, it's built for the novices as well as pros. set by step all you need to get going is clearly marked out. from tools to gear needed for glassing. just need cool days or nights or the glass goes off to quick. hence why i'll do it in winter...:) you have full pattern plans etc and all you need is the room to build it in...something to think about for you :)
